This scale Twin 14 inch/45 caliber Gun Turret is designed for models of New York class battleships USS New York BB-34 and USS Texas BB-35. These ships had five twin turrets. This version represents one of the three turrets located on the main deck, Turrets Numbers 1, 3 & 5.
Features:
Material Selection Notice: due to its large size, this model can only be printed in "Natural Versatile Plastic", which is nylon. The model will have noticeable striations (print lines) requiring filling with primer to create a smooth surface. Natural Versatile nylon plastics do not sand easily. This material is recommended for radio control models where strength and durability are important. Customers who intend their model to be placed on static display are generally unhappy with Versatile Plastic for these reasons.
